We're a few blocks from 2 Long Island Railroad (LIRR) line stations that will bring you either into Queens, Brooklyn or Manhattan, NYC - or out east on Long Island or to Long Beach. It's about a 35-40 minute ride from either Lynbrook or Rockville Centre (RVC) stations - depending upon the time of day.
Close to Sunrise Hwy (route 27 - 1 block away), Merrick Rd., Peninsula Blvd. and the Southern State and Cross Island Parkways.
Both LIRR stations have local cab services.

Several parks nearby.
There is no access to laundry in the apartment, but there are several local laundry services if needed.

Farah was very nice and her place was clean. She was there to greet me and answer all my questions. The parking was free and for those who don't drive the train station to new York is less than a mile away. The neighborhood is safe and the locals were more than happy to answer all my questions. There is also a big mall minutes away. Thank you Farah

constantineJuly 2016

The room is as advertised. I stayed there for one month, and even though the room is small, it was fine because I just needed a place to sleep. Having air conditioning in the summer was a major plus. You share the house with a few other people, so you may have to move your car (if you have one) to let people in or out of the driveway. There is a dog there too, and he is very nice once he meets you and gets to know you. Overall, this room was cheaper than most other places in the area, so if you want to save money, this place would be a good option.

Fred and his mother were very friendly and amenable. The place is nice, well located and clean. I would renew the washing machine and buy a dryer and dishwasher if I were them in order to upgrade the experience and make it more pleasant for their guests. We stayed there for over 20 nights with a baby and were quite happy - especially since Fred offered us the last night. Thank you both of you!

GuillaumeNovember 2016

The host made it easy to get into the place and arranged a key drop which worked out well. Once we arrived we had a great stay. It is a very nice and well kept place, clean and well furnished. Hope to stay again on future trips.

CharlesOctober 2015

My family from California stayed here for 6 days and they were very happy with their stay in Fred's house. The house was clean and spacious. I would rent here again if I have relatives visiting and need a place to stay. Thank you Fred and also to your neighbor Wilky who was so nice to check us in and show us the inside of the house.

This house is old, and very musty/dusty. It served it's purpose on our trip, but I wouldn't recommend it. First, the listing describes 2 queen beds, 1 double and 1 futon. Actually, there are 2 doubles and 2 futons. All are quite old and uncomfortable. We arrived to find only dirty, used sheets and blankets on the beds- and towels that were literally covered in mud and sand and then folded and put in the closet. There is a washer, but no dryer, so simply washing the sheets and towels (which shouldn't be our responsibility but we were willing), wasn't an option. There is dust on everything- and black mold in the closets. I do NOT have breathing issues, yet I found it difficult to breathe in the house. The kitchen, while stocked with plates and cups, etc, was also dirty. There was mold inside the cups and on the dishware. We washed a few pieces to use in boiling water and soap, and chose not to open the cabinets afterward. Theres no coffee maker, though there is a microwave and toaster oven. The refrigerator had open, used food (including things going bad) inside. The counters and dressers had open, half used, spilling bottles of lotions, creams, perfumes, etc. There is very little light in the house as well. The bulbs are all dim and opening windows for light isn't easy, as screens are ripped out and therefore let bugs inside. After sundown, it's really not possible to see very much in the house. I was told the neighbor would have the keys, would issue me a partial refund ($40) for time we didn't stay, and that he would be my contact for any problems/issues in the house. However, when I went to speak to him, he not only knew nothing of these things but also didn't even know the house was for rent on AirBnB. Thank goodness he was home when I arrived and needed the keys. The house's saving grace is the outside patio on the side of the house. There is a table and chairs and we spent most of our time at the house outside. Another odd thing- there were people going in and out of the garage on 3 occasions over our 4 days, seemed to be going through bags and boxes. Made living in the house very awkward. The owner Fred and his mother Anne both live out of the country, and so I think that while they have good intentions, communication is sparse and it's very difficult for them to properly manage the house without being in the country. For example, I had 'checked out' and returned home in another state before I received a voicemail stating the things I should do before leaving (closing shades, opening specific windows, etc.) Many of the problems we faced could have been left by previous renters, (i.e., the sheets and towels, foods, etc.) but if the house isn't managed or maintained by anyone, those problems persist.

CassieJune 2015

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

He had a neighbor great me upon check in, who after having showed me around the place handed me the key and told me to let me know if I needed anything.

AbelNovember 2015

We spent 2 nights at Home Sweet Home. The house had plenty of room for the five of us. The patio was nice for morning coffee and we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. We did not use the kitchen but it is complete with plenty of dishes and pots and pans. All in all our stay was very comfortable.

It was a pleasant stay. Alex was very prompt in replying with my questions and concerns. No complaints at all.

AmiDecember 2015

Alex's attentiveness to his guests' needs was one of his many great attributes as a host that stuck out to me. He even dealt/paid for a parking ticket my roommate received when he parked on the street in front of Alex's house. The description was exactly as listed and the neighborhood/location was outstanding.

JohnAugust 2015

It was an awesome stay there for 3 days. Alex and his mom are very hospitable. Room was nice and clean. It was a pleasant experience. One of the best thing was they allowed me use their parking space and I didn't have to use street parking. It made my life easier especially during the party time on new year eve. Alex's advise on the city parking was always helpful. ;) I recommend this host. Cheers!!

ShashankJanuary 2015

Alex was a great host, he seemed very understanding when I couldn't make it at the planned check in time. The place was very clean and next time I'm in the area I hope that I will be able to stay at Alex's place.

Alex Airbnb review My wife, infant, and I stayed 2 nights with Alex. He was a very friendly and genuine host and his place was great. He greeted us as we arrived, showed us our room, and made sure we had sheets, towels, and the wifi password, although the wifi didn't really reach our room at all and was really only accessible from the common living room. Our room had plenty of space to fit our travel crib, clothes, and other personal belongings. We had a private entrance, permission to use the refrigerator and kitchen, and off-street overnight parking. We also had a window air-conditioning unit in our room. Overall the house was older-looking (similar to most homes in the area), which also meant it had no air conditioning except for window units installed in the rooms. So the house was hot during the day (late August was when we stayed). The place was tidy overall except for a few dishes in the sink, probably left by the other guests. However the bathroom (shared between all guests) needed an upgrade and felt dirty. I wish I would have brought shower sandals because the shower was a bit gross. We were a 5 minute drive from the LIRR and took a 20 min train ride to Manhattan (about $30 round trip) We were also a 20 min drive to Jones Beach which was an excellent beach (the restaurants there are only open on weekends though) Overall this was a good place to stay and very convenient. I would stay again myself and would recommend to anyone visiting the Long Island area.

JoshAugust 2015

I arrived in 1230am and Alex was kind enough to stay up and help me in, he also brought in my ridiculously heavy luggage too :) Unfortunately my stay was cut short mainly due to the living arrangements. Alex was a good host but I was unaware that I would be sharing a bathroom with two men. Personally, I moved out due to the hygiene standards of the bathroom. I had to clean the bathroom, toilet sink and tub myself with my own cleaning equipment. I understand that other renters should have been playing there part to keep the shared bathroom clean but after two days of making this situation known, nothing much was done about the keeping up of the bathroom at all. So fortunately, I found another place and moved out immediately.

This was our first experience with an Airbnb location. The listing was exactly the way it was described. The home is in a very quiet neighborhood. We had our privacy to come and go while staying at her family's home. Our host made it a very welcoming experience with toiletry items available in our room, a plate of fresh fruit and cookies as well as bottled water to keep in the frig that was in the room. We even had our own coffee pot. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had plenty of clean linens for our stay. The family was extremely friendly with each of them making it a point to be sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely consider staying there again.

We flew in to JFK and had a short cab ride to the house. Felt like a really safe neighbourhood. Gertha was so welcoming and made us feel right at home, comfy bed, fridge and coffee as well as a close bathroom. We are going back to stay before our flight home to Australia!

KateJune 2016

Despite my very last minute booking, I was pleased to get such a pleasant welcoming. I was out for most of each day so I didn't get to meet Gertha upon my arrival, but her sister was there to welcome me and she was very sweet and accomodating. When I finally met Gertha, she was very sweet and interested in my comfort. Since I booked it so last minute I didn't remember reading that I would share the bathroom. It may be in the description, I couldn't remember either way. Regardless, it was very clean and comfortable to share the bathroom. The neighborhood felt very safe and I didn't have any concerns with parking my vehicle on the street. I thank Gertha and her family for the accommodations, I would recommend this home and family without reservation.

There are a number of local restaurants in the area and a grocery store within walking distance of the home. The home itself was very cozy, containing all the proper necessities for a long trip. Overall satisfied.

Jude was an excellent host. His place looked exactly how it was listed online, the neighborhood was great and Jude was very accommodating. We ended up arriving earlier than we expected and Jude was very prepared when we arrived. He introduced us to the place, gave us a tour and checked in on us via text before he left for the night. The place was private and very clean. In addition, prior to our arrival, Jude ensured to introduce himself via text and made sure we were in contact up until our departure. Lastly, the place is not too far from JFK so it made getting to the airport after our stay very easy. I will totally recommend booking a stay with Jude and will definitely book again if I am looking to stay in that area again.

Jude was a great host and very accommodating. He continuously checked on us as my wife and I had a late check in. It was raining when we arrived so he let us in through the front door so that we wouldn't have to walk around back in the rain.

I was very impressed by the accommodation as it was everything as described. I got chance to meet Gartha and she immediately made me feel very welcomed. The family is very warm and the location is amazing. I was even treated to fruits and some amazing meals. The neighborhood is the safest I've seen in New york , with more than enough space to park my car. They even had extra towels, toiletries and brushes in case I had none. The bed was extremely comfortable, with lots of pillows and I was surprised with bottled water that was in the fridge, just what was needed. I will definitely consider staying there again .

Perfect - in all respects! I needed a place near JFK for a short 7 hour layover..... and Farah's place more than met all expectations. It is a 15 minute ride to the airport - uber cost me about $17 each way. The neighborhood was very safe, Farah's house was immaculately clean, the room was well decorated, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was well stocked, etc Perhaps most importantly, Farah was very prompt with responses, was flexible with my late night arrival and early morning departure. She was very courteous and friendly when she received me at home late at night and showed me my room Highly recommended - for anyone looking for a base near JFK !!

Farah was a nice friendly and welcoming host. The place was nice and the bed was comfy. However, the room is in the third floor in a separated area from the rest of the house. The post of the room had an air conditioning feature when I reserved it but no air conditioning was there when I arrived. When I told her about it she acused me of lying and went and took the air conditioning feature from the post right away. Also, there is only one bathroom serving 5 rooms house!

Farah was so welcoming and so nice! She treated us with respect and was always available if we needed her. Her house is so comfortable and the room and the bed are actually larger in person. The room was very clean, she provided us with basic necessities (towels, soap, etc). Her place is located near the best restaurants in Valley Stream and there are numerous ways of transportation if you want to go to Manhattan or JFK airport. Very quiet and safe place as well. Also, you'll have a lot of privacy since you'll have an entire floor to yourself. I loved everything about my stay and would definitely advice everyone to stay at her place. If I'm in the area I'll come back for sure! All in all great experience. Thank you Farah :-)

Nancy our host was great. Met us within 5 minutes of getting to house. Showed us house and supplies. Checked on our needs several times. The location for trip was perfect. We able to come and go with no problems. If I return to NY I would stay again.

Nancy made me feel welcome by touching base with me the day before my arrival to see if I needed anything. She even provided breakfast! It's a nice residential area with everything within a few minutes drives.

A great location for visiting NYC. The LIRR station is about a 15 minute walk and you can be in Manhattan in roughly 45 minutes for a one way fare of $11 per person. "Let the train take the stain". Local supermarket is about 5 minutes walk away and has nearly all the grocery items you could think of. If you are into "retail therapy" then Green Acres shopping mall has most of the big name stores (Macy's, Sears, Khole's, Walmart etc.) in it and it's about a 10 minute drive with plenty of free parking. As previous guests have mentioned, Nancy had stocked the refrigerator with all the essentials (bread, milk, bottled water, orange juice, Liptons tea etc). There was even a tray of Ferraro Roche chocolates left on the kitchen table and a bowl of Candy Corn on the kitchen counter - nice touch. Nancy refused payment for these which we thought was most generous. Nancy met us upon our arrival and showed us around the house and despite having other commitments on the day we left, she made the effort to come and see us off. The house is exactly as described/pictured on the Airbnb site. It's located in a neat residential area and has an off road parking driveway to the side or rear of the house. We think two cars might just fit onto this driveway. Our group of 4 adults found the house to be comfortable and very clean. We dined in BJ's Brewery Restaurant on one of the evenings we stayed and on the recommendation of a local. We were not disappointed. It's located at the western end of the Green Acres shopping mall complex. Great food and being a micro-brewery there was a good choice of craft beers on tap. We have no reservations in recommending Nancy's house!

Alex was very accommodating, especially since our arrival was quite late. Welcomed into the place by Alex's mom. Who was so friendly and warm. Room was as pictured, comfortable enough to get a good rest. 15 minutes drive to the airport with no traffic.

This is an efficient, economical place to stay in nice neighborhood with good proximity to JFK and LIRR. We didn't meet our hosts, but Alex communicated effectively via text. Note that there are two rooms, which are let separately, and the bathroom is shared among all guests.

Alex is prompt, professional and I appreciate his response to my request which I put across very close to my arrival in NY. I also appreciate his mother Sonia's effort in welcoming me and making sure the stay was comfortable. The house is close to JFK airport and is about a mile from the railroad station. Overall it was a comfortable stay for a night and I thank Alex and his mother for a good experience!

KiranSeptember 2015

Had a comfortable stay at this location. Alex is a chill host and I would definitely recommend this place.

RonyJuly 2015

This place was perfect for what we needed--a cozy place near JFK for a long layover. Alex made sure we had a place to park our car and put us in a room that was easily accessible for our luggage. Bed was very comfortable and AC & wifi made the transition for us from living abroad and then coming back to the States warmly welcomed. I would definitely stay here again if I'm back in NYC flying out of JFK.

LauraAugust 2015

Everything was as described. The room had lots of space and was very clean. My work partner and myself felt right at home. Alex and his family were awesome host. Highly recommended. 10-10

Angel and his wife were beyond friendly and accomodating! The space was very clean and comfortable. we had 4 adults and 3 children with more than enough space for us all. There is a bathroom with shower right in the basement along with table and chairs, AC and a rack to hang clothes up. My only concern when we got there was there's no door on the stairs leading to the basement, but privacy was not an issue at all. I would definitely recommend staying here!

My stay at Hermie's place was wonderful. She is such a sweet lady. She made sure I had no issues with anything and went out of the way to help me out from providing a home cooked nice and healthy breakfast every morning and dropping me off to class and helping me get appropriate communication means to giving me her umbrella when it was required. The room is very comfortable, clean, has two big windows with blinds and a TV. I slept like a zen baby in there. The bathroom is very clean and has a nice shower with good flow. They have a small cute dog (Champ) who loves to play and means well. He adds an energetic vibe whenever he meets you on the way in or out. There's absolutely nothing bad about this place. You'll love Hermie, her family and her place. Thank you for having me, Hermie :) I'll see you soon.

I really enjoyed my stay at Ms. Hermie's house. She was a perfect host and very kind. We had no issues during my stay.The room itself was very nice and clean. The house is located in a quiet suburban area with plenty of parking. And I can't forget her adorable little dog who was super friendly and always happy to see me. Thank you very much Ms. Hermie!!

Hermie is the most genuine, beautiful, wonderful host ever. This gracious lady picked me up from the airport after my flight which was due at 9.00 p.m and delayed for 4 hours. She made two trips after not initially finding me. Immediately I felt her warmth when we met and I was at ease. She made me feel welcome and a part of her family, even making me breakfast. The neighbourhood was extremely safe and the one neighbour I met from another street gave me a map one day when I was lost. The room was nice enough with a comfortable bed. The shared bathroom was always well kept. Hermie made my experience a memorable one. Always making herself available to take me shopping once she was not at work. She was full of great advice and even took me to work with her so I wouldn't be lonely. I honestly felt like I knew her forever. I originally had planned to pack a barrel to send back home but after that fell true Hermie came to my rescue. She offered me an alternative and let me borrow her suitcase while she shipped me the other stuff. She also took me back to the airport when I was leaving and didn't leave til I checked in. Awesome right? I could go on forever lol. You can be sure anytime I visit New York this will be my host of choice.

I stayed with Ms. Hermie for one week from May 25 - June 1 while taking Gold USMLE Review. It was such a wonderful stay. The bedroom and bathroom were comfortable and clean and the neighborhood felt very safe. Ms. Hermie offered to pick me up from the airport and even had her daughter take me to the airport when I left despite having to leave the house at 4 AM in the morning. I flew in from LaGuardia which was ~30 minutes away but JFK is even closer. Ms. Hermie also provided breakfast every morning and even brought me to class on time every single day. Gold Review is ~7 minutes away and cost $8 on Uber for the way home. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those reviewing with Gold. The cost is way cheaper than getting a hotel, the room is exactly what you need, and the host has a wonderful soul and a caring nature about her that is a rarity these days. By the end of the week, it truly felt like I was staying with family.

Jo MarieJune 2016

Hermie was an amazing host. She let me know ways to get around the city and treated me as a member of her family instead of just a guest. I will definitely try and book with her again if possible.

ChrisOctober 2015

Hermie was very nice to welcome me to her home and show me to my room. Room was upstairs. Stair case was narrow but manageable. She has a medium size dog who's very cute and friendly but also very hyper. He's not trouble at all. The room is good size with queen size bed, chairs, dresser and a TV (which is a plus). The bedding was average. She provided a set of towels also with medium softness but a bit on the small side. The bed was fine, just a little squeaky. Bathroom counter was a bit small but it's clean. Shower pressure was average but shower was clean. Hermie was very accommodating. She offered airport rides if possible. Her home is very close to JFK so it's convenient for traveling. She offer her kitchen utilities as well and laundry. Overall, it's a good stay for the price in NYC.
